Chapter 50: Chapter 050 Something doesn’t feel right_1

Jiang Nanfei: “…” Had she been conned? Why did she feel something was off?

Seeing the flicker of doubt in her eyes, Huo Beijiang reached out and held his wife’s little hand in his own, saying earnestly, “Let’s go!”

Upon hearing they were leaving, Jiang Nanfei didn’t hesitate, even taking the initiative to lead the way and urge him on, “Then hurry up! I still have things to do when I get home this afternoon.”

“Okay!”

With a hint of amusement in his handsome features, Huo Beijiang started up the motorcycle. Once his wife got on, he cautioned her to hold tight.

“Don’t call me your wife,” Jiang Nanfei blushed uncontrollably, feeling somewhat helpless towards him.

...

She never wanted to get married so early in her life, and they weren’t even married yet!

“…”

The motorcycle had already started moving and the wind was too loud; Jiang Nanfei couldn’t hear his response clearly and wasn’t sure if he agreed or not.

Having eaten lunch, Huo Jinlan fidgeted anxiously at home, waiting. Her school bag was already packed but her brother was nowhere to be seen. Yuan Xueshan had gone to the shop and wasn’t home either, leaving her with her imagination running wild as she bravely went to ask in Huo Linong’s study.

“Dad, where’s my brother? Why isn’t he home?”

Huo Linong put down the test papers in his hand, removed the silver glasses perched on his nose and looked at his daughter who had barged into the room without knocking, his eyebrows creeping together subtly.

“I haven’t seen him since morning, I don’t know where your brother went either.”

“Did he mention when he’d be back? He only just came home for his break but now he’s gone off running everywhere!” Huo Jinlan bit her lip, looking pitiful.

Huo Linong softened somewhat, his attitude even more gentle, “Your brother is old enough, he has his freedom to go wherever. You shouldn’t always be worrying about him. The weather is so good today, you should go out and play with your friends.”

Stammering, Huo Jinlan said, “but my brother promised me he would join me at a class gathering this afternoon.”

“You will be in your last year of high school after this break, it’s good to relax a bit during summer vacation!” Huo Linong smiled warmly, “Your brother has always been true to his word. If he promised to accompany you, then he’ll definitely be back.”

“But he’s still not back yet.”

“No worries, just wait a little longer. If you really can’t wait, you can go on your own.”

But that wouldn’t be the same! Huo Jinlan bit her lip, feeling unsatisfied.

“What’s wrong?” Huo Linong saw she was still standing there looking puzzled and asked.

“Okay, I’ll wait a little bit longer,” and with that, she walked out of the study.

Downstairs, Zhou Yongxian was sitting and enjoying the cooler weather in the yard. The front gate was wide open providing a sweeping view, and she could see the road in the distance.

“Hello, Grandma Zhou.” Wu Shanshan stood outside the yard, peeking in, “Excuse me, is Granny Huo or Huo Jinlan home?”

“She’s home!” Zhou Yongxian put down her book and called out with a smile, “She’s inside! Go ahead and go in!”

“Thank you.” Wu Shanshan bowed politely and entered while secretly admiring the house and living room decor. She was impressed with how well-off Huo Jinlan’s family was and furthermore, her dad was the principal, how incredible!

She normally wouldn’t dare to go to the principal’s house.

Upon arriving in the living room, Wu Shanshan saw Huo Jinlan coming down from upstairs. “Why aren’t you leaving? If you don’t go now, you’ll be late.”

“I’m waiting for my brother.”

“Your brother is at home?” Wu Shanshan’s eyes lit up. She had admired Huo Beijiang since she was a child. When she was still in elementary school, he was already in high school, followed by a bunch of male students. They all had good personalities, handsome looks, and were top students. He was indeed a figure of great importance in school back then.
